Maize Balm
Is that the only way to get the recipe? Does it drop, say, as rare drops from ToT bags as well?
All I know is the vendor. Who knows it might have a drop chance.
Candy corn isn’t just used for this recipe, lowering the drop rate is a *bad* idea. I agree that crafting in this game sucks after a while because everything is in 100’s and 250’s. But last year candy corn wasn’t dropped enough, so this is a better solution.
I don’t know of anyone who is actually use the balm but my understanding is it turns candy corn back into Tot bags. (Crafted using corn, use on ambients, kill, get bags.) Which to me looks like it’s intended as a way for people to still fight for minis (kitteny RNG ghost wolf). So saying it isn’t worth it just means you’re not looking at the right value.

maize balm turns AMBIENT creatures into ToT bags (those white bunnies and frogs and birds you see in PvE world). more specifically: into 1-hit kill candy corn elementals which drop ToT bags. And each use of maize balm has 3 uses of the skill, each skill is an aoe that will transform 3 ambient creatures, I believe. So 1 maize balm = 9 ToT bags. Just go to an area with high ambient concentration. With ToT bags being worth 5s, that puts maize balm at 38s (including TP fees).

Hmmm… Maybe I should start hoarding up my Balms till after Halloween is over. They’re relatively cheap now thanks to the mass drop rates of ToT bags from the Labyrinth, but that will change within a week.
If you are careful about how you use it and go with a friend you should be able to get most of your ingredients back from a use of maize balm. It also gives you something to do while waiting for the Shadow Behemoth to spawn.
It’s probably a bit hard to used up those stacks and stacks of maize balm after the halloween instance is removed.
And I don’t know how you can share the item since monster die in 1 hit with it.
that being said, don’t take my word for it. I tell people not to buy those infinite aether tonic recipe for 1 gold and the sell price is 600 gold now.

They get one shot in areas like the Reliquary because they’re lvl 2 and you’re still 80. In the open world zones, they’re the levels of whatever the zone is and you’re downleveled as well. Tag it once and let other people get their tags in and you can have multiple people getting drops off of it.

The Queensdale swamp area works just fine.
North camp (wvw) works pretty well.
